Are they double in with? So this would be like having 12 punishers per side? Wicked :-)

One cabinet is 2x Punisher so in the pictures that is 6x Punisher on each side. These cabinets are about 140 x 50 x 80cm. Ask VPAS for more details.
Best regards,
Walt

6 a side, 12 total.
They do look lovely as a 212, especially with that brace. I'm going to miss mine to be honest.
Do 3 TMS2 really keep up with 6 Punishers?

15" in the TMS2. I'd have put one per Punisher, going from the spec of them.

Ahaa. I just figured out the trick. Dint look very carefully the first time. I was thinking they are six cabinets with 2x12 in it.

that does look a bit special. whats the sound like compared to normal punishers?

It should be no different to two normal ones, bar the extra weight of the bracing Charles added, and the 18mm ply bits making it resonate a little less.

Yep. I couldn't afford to keep them around and buy the new stack - they're going to a good home and I might get some more in the future for smaller things because I do love them so much, but for now I got lured in by big pile of red boxes that go by the name of X...
Punishers required a little too much attention from the engineer for the type of events we were using them for to ensure they didn't get too hot, and getting suitable stuff to go on top was still an issue - Insomnia's (still) making me some Xtro but they cost too close to a new, branded cab to load and amp up for us to get lots of them.
I'd aim to get more when there's a v4, hopefully with a machined heatsink in the mouth, connected into the driver's chamber so that they can really be spanked all night.

We never had any problems with our stack. Running them from a vortex 6 though. Really cant wait to load our other 4. I hate not having much work during the summer.
Those puns do look really special by the way. I bet they are a bitch to move though.

i got the singles which are still pretty light considering the output...
i wasnt impressed with the vortex 6 on them tho, didnt seem to be enough power into 4r. been runnin them 2 of a xti4000 bridged and been very happy.
just like to add that the xti's actually run as cold as a fridge, had them pushing 4r bridge and after six hours were still cold! i was sitting by them to cool myself down

mykey, you have mentioned this brute speaker on many threads but no one has heard of it, no one has seen it, no one even knows whether it is even a bass bin or an Indonesian dwarf wrestling champion.
Is this is another case of you advertising one of your own speakers again before you even have a working model or is this a commercially available speaker?

i take it you mean no wonder the drivers get warm? the xti's are 3200w @1KHz, dont know what that equates to over 40-90Hz but seems about right.
i cant help but think they would sound better of another amp tho, heard them of an ffa8 and it sounded mint, but wasnt in a good space.
for hires tho its allways impressive to have a uniform rack

myself and iain rendle spent quite some time perfecting the cad work on these - they are made on a cnc machine.
we have designed a a spring loaded heatsink to use with the new version - probably rather tricky as a retro fit, but could easily be fitted from new.
that said, we've not actually had the requirement to make/fit the option to any of the new boxes!

Spring loaded sounds interesting, there needs to be some give somewhere
as getting the heatsink flat against the backplate / in good contact is
important for heat transfer, coppey springs sounds like a clever
solution.
We currently intend to have an ali plate with a cpu heatsink and fan
mounted on it, fan will be powerd from the audio signel, the ali plate
with have 2 ali bars that potrude into the chamber and come into
contact with the back plate. The whole unit will have a thick
gasket to make adjustment for good themal contact easy.

lol orright liam
yeah i have been pretty busy (as you know) so i havent been able to upload any pics of the rig. Vpas bought 4 112's off me a few months ago (and is just about to get 2 more :-))
if any one would like to buy some 112's or 212's please email me @ iain@vortexsound.co.uk or ring 07872075118
the gig in that picture went down a brilliantly, with that many cabinets a side it really was breath taking and i do recall smashing a few bottles of spirits...(managed to rattle off the bar)
next year i will be running the same event a few times a month please get in touch if you would like to come down and hear them.
cheers
